Euclidean Approach for Entropy of Black Shells

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2016-06-23 v1

Abstract

We introduce the concept of black shell, consisting on a massive thin spherical shell contracting toward its gravitational radius from the point of view of an external observer far from the shell, in order to effectively model the gravitational collapse. Considering complementary description of entanglement entropy of a black shell and according to Gibbons-Hawking Euclidean approach, we calculate the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy retrieving horizon integral and discarding boundary at infinity.
